A WINCHESTER accountant is celebrating a merger with a Southampton firm by running a free bookkeeping workshop.

David Mead’s merger with David Poole Accountants has created Poolemead Accountants, which has opened a new office at Basepoint Business Centre in Winnall.

Mr Mead said the merger with David Poole and Alan Sealey had been a natural progression.

“We all share a strong ethos of providing clients with a holistic service, getting to the core of their businesses and providing them with intrinsic business advice as well as sound accountancy services,” he said.

The afternoon workshop takes place on Thursday, May 16, and will focus on online accountancy, showing business-owners how interactive bookkeeping can increase efficiency and reduce costs.
